His points are pretty weak and don't seem supported by data. There have been a number of black QB's taken with the first couple picks. Since 07 3 of the 7 Qb's taken #1 have been black. Further teams have missed badly on a lot of the top white QB's Brady, Brees and even Rogers went late as well Seems there is more of a biased against short QB's and/or coming from run first offenses.
As for the Bills, they have made a lot of strange personnel decisions. It is almost like they realize this team can't compete in the playoffs and they are playing for the future even though still very much alive. [Reply]
Bologne and bullshit. Taylor getting benched means two things. We can't beat the Pat's and Tyrod is not the answer and he's had years to make us believe he is. They want to see if Peterman is any good before the draft and lose to get a higher pick. New Coaches have to get their guys and Tyrod isn't him. They have traded all the old players. [Reply]
Perception definitely plays a large role in day-to-day relations.
Black QBs are certainly perceived differently than their white counterparts. White RBs, WRs and DBs are certainly perceived differently than their black counterparts.
But while this is a head scratcher, I'm hesitant to lay all the blame at the feet of prejudice in this case. I think the new regime was just looking for an excuse to cut bait and go with their guy. [Reply]
Goddamn Nick Wright is one stupid mother****er. Tyrod Taylor is averaging basically 1 TD pass a game and hasn't done jack shit with Sammy Watkins, Kelvin Benjamin, Robert Woods, Marquis Goodwin, Jordan Matthews and Zay Jones.
I like he references guys like Cam, Dak and Wilson. Uh Cam had the laptop issue along with his horrible attitude (that everyone was right about), Dak got ****ing arrested 2 months before the draft and Wilson is 5'10 and it was absolutely a concern at the time.
I keep waffling between wanting to win Sunday or losing and forcing Fat Andy's hand on Alex. He has been playing just as bad if not worse than Tryod the last 4 weeks. It NEEDS to happen folks. One way or the other. They are pushing me to the dark side of hoping for injury. I am fed up watching 11 that much.
Excuse me, phone is ringing....."Eric, is that you?.....what did you say?.....it's thickening and disgusthing?" [Reply]

You're a fucking joke. No reasonable fan roots for their team to lose. [Reply]
Considering the NFL QB is all the proof needed to prove race inequity in our society, yeah. I'd say it's a relevant point to discuss. You disagree? [Reply]
